Castings Payout Idea

5thJan 27, 2021 by Sam_Hamwich
Since we're shooting for the stars here with Tengaged changes that will probably never happen, I'm here to submit my idea, which has to do with #castings payouts.

Currently castings is simultaneously the worst payout on the site AND the easiest game to use multis and get quick karma. It's also the only one without a set amount of supposed "days".

So what if we did payouts that changed by the amount of "days" survived in said casting? With deaths obviously still staying the same at 0k-0T$ because well, you literally died, we could implement a rule where 4th through a potential 20th get one karma and one T$ for every day survived, with 3rd place getting 2 karma per day, 2nd getting 3 karma per day, and 1st place getting 5 karma per day (maybe 4th gets an extra karma as well so as to give a reward for beating 5th in the final vote)

This would both reward playing longer games (winning a 12 day castings would now be 60 karma, with 2nd and 3rd getting 36 and 24 karma, respectively) and cut down a ton on people spamming 20 accounts into a game for a free 40 karma in a day to get straight to orange (a 24 hour castings win would now only be worth 10 karma, which would never happen in a realistic game).

Potential payouts in a 3-day long "6-day game"
1st: 30k 30T$
2nd: 18k 18T$
3rd: 12k 12T$
4th: 7k 7T$
5th: 6k 6T$
6th: 5k 5T$
7th: 4k 4T$
8th: 3k 3T$
9th: 2k 2T$
10-20: *would all have died in order to finish game in 3d

Potential payouts in a 6-day, 6-hour "13-day game"
1st: 65k 65T$
2nd: 39k 39T$
3rd: 26k 26T$
4th: 14k 14T$
5th: 13k 13T$
6th: 12k 12T$
7th: 11k 11T$
8th: 10k 10T$
9th: 9k 9T$
10th: 8k 8T$
11th: 7k 7T$
12th: 6k 6T$
13th: 5k 5T$
14th: 4k 4T$
15th: 3k 3T$
16th: 2k 2T$
17-20: *would all have died in order to finish game in 6d,6h

Obviously yes, some people would get unlucky if they win from the game being shorter, but they are also allowed to join again quicker and get right back into the next one. Payouts could obviously be adjusted or tweaked somewhat.

i like it but i tihnk castings are fine rn and it seems like to much effort when it could be spent on more mods, banning multis and creeps, and a new game mode

That’s a great idea honestly, it will actually make casting pretty active because people will fight their ass off to make the highest placement possible for those high payout

I think the easier way to code this would be a fixed amount for 5th-20th and a multiplier for 1st-4th.

i.e.:
1st - 5k/5T$
2nd - 3k/3T$
3rd - 2k/2T$
4th - 1k/1T$
multiplied by how many days the game went

granted this could lead to 4th getting less karma than 5th depending on a fixed payout. Honestly does anything below 10th in a castings deserve a payout anyways though?

I don’t think there is a functional way for Tengaged to give you a bigger prize based on how long the game is, especially since prizes are received immediately on elimination/game finishing
